Point and Clique Confront the Monsters Within in “Monster”

Point and Clique take viewers on a dark and surreal journey in “Monster,” a cinematic music video that explores the hidden struggles, temptations, and survival instincts that shape human behavior.

Produced by Media Movement Network (MMN) and directed by Shabaka Mu Ausar, the visual unfolds across Rochester’s Monroe Avenue and surrounding cityscape, where reality slowly gives way to a nightmare-like world. As the story progresses, Point and Clique transform into monstrous versions of themselves—a powerful rhinoceros-like beast and an evil siren-mermaid—symbolizing the internal battles between purpose, temptation, greed, violence, addiction, and spiritual conflict.

Drawing inspiration from the cinematic romance of Ari Lennox’s Under The Moon, the horror imagery of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and the psychological darkness of the Gravediggaz classic Diary of a Madman, Monster blends fantasy, horror, and street realism into a powerful visual allegory. Throughout the video, viewers witness manifestations of destructive choices and personal demons as the artists navigate a world where survival often comes at a cost.

Shot on the Z CAM E2-S6 cinema camera, the production embraces a moody luxury-noir aesthetic, combining performance, visual effects, and symbolic storytelling to create an unforgettable viewing experience.

More than a music video, Monster asks a deeper question: Are the monsters we fear external forces, or reflections of the battles taking place within ourselves?

Lyrics: (Power, you can’t see my power)
(You can’t see my)
Black power in the Mississippi Delta
Black power when Mary sing shelter
Pulling up in the streets of Kampala
There’s a calling for the sons and the daughters
Black power on the surface of the moon
Black power in Jesus too
Breaking bread, collard greens with my suya
Feet stomping, praise the lord hallelujah
I come from the beginning of sound and time
We don’t have the same gods, my people could fly
It’s just that ancestral coolness
Pulling up in cool whips, living like there ain’t no time
Devils in a stupor trying to get the scoop on how the black soul survive
Well, from Dakar to the Carolinas, can’t you see that the spirit guides us
I got two million souls around me, take a bow put the crown on me
Black is that little space we find in the dark each night,
without a light, in the bend of dark arms
Safe from trauma, grief, and strife
Black is the color of real jungle fever in Belize, Tanzania, or Papua New Guinea
Sweaty black bodies swinging wildly, uninhibited, unashamed, unabashedly free
Black is the color of the Atlantic floor
The complexion of the sky god directly north
It is the sunset, horizon disappearing into Ontario lake
Black is block parties, speakers blasting Black bass beats over knotted, nappy heads
Carnival drums swirling Black rhythms around hips
And barefoot soles stained deep in shades of red
Black is the color, black is the color of love

God and The Block (feat. 38 SPESH & SEAN B.)
